儿童胸腺退化的形态变化及临床意义

通过584例儿童胸腺研究发现任何年龄的儿童各种病因都可导致胸腺退化。影响退化程度的因素,主要为病因。生物性因子所致退化较非生物性因子所致的重。胸腺小叶体积缩小主要与病程有关。作者提出,应针对患儿所患疾病的病因进行治疗,以缩短病程,避免胸腺重度退化塌陷,有利于结构和功能恢复。

Morphologicai Changes and Clinic Significance of Thymic Involution in Children

This paper, based on Atudy of 584 thymuses in Children, makes a discovery that all kinds of the causes of diseases in children at any age can lead to tymic iwvolutions. The degrees of involution mainly depends upon the causes. The living factors are more important than the non-living ones. The volume of thymic lolules become smaller along with the courses. Authors advance that the course of diseases in children must be treated, the course shortened, the severe involution and collapse avoided. Only in this way can the structure and function of thymus be recovered.
